Hi, back on the flow now post a few months rest!
Helwith Bridge Duathlon, 21st October 2012 starts at 10am. No sponsor at the moment or entry forms but keep the date free!
:thumbup:
Entries are now open, same remarkable low price for solo and relay teams.
Care explain the format please Vince?
I'm interested but would like a little more info.
It's a classic Stagger! You run a bit, cycle a bit, jump off your bike and find you have legs like bambi, then run the same loop that you started with again. The run loop is 4 miles, the bike is about 23ish(?). Starts and finishes from a pub! :thumbup:Quote:

As dominion says! All on the road, on the bits round the bike course you may possibly have the added bonus of dodgy sheep, dealing with some rain but definately a good finish. 3.8 mile loop for the run, 23 miles for the bike. Field used for transition bits. We also have a sheltered registration (the gazeebo died in the wind last year) and showers/toilets thanks to the Local Cave Club!Quote:

If you're that serious can't you just run in the skin suit?Quote:

Certificates?
Can go to more than that!
My entry went off today! :D
How about a buff as a memento? We did that for our club race this year, only snag (I think) is you have to buy 1,000 ... wasn't too expensive though.
That would last for the next 9 years! :wink:Quote:

With 42 solo entries now on record if the mist doesn't come down you might be able to see each other on the bike course! :wink:
No relay team entries yet :confused:
Buffs on order, prizes ordered. Got to buy the mars bars!! Should I make some of my famous flapjacks? :p
Makethat 43 as I will be entering when I get back off holiday

With Entries at nearing capacity my race raising money for MS Society is getting full! Marshals are always welcome if you know anyone close to Settle, North Yorkshire. Chances are you know someone with MS. I know I do! :rolleyes:
90 solo entries, 5 relay team.
We have a race!
